I’m from a large, Italian family so I’m picky with any Italian dining experiences (aren’t we all?!?!)…and I’ve never been disappointed with Osteria Marzano. Wonderful food, service and cocktails every time I’ve visited. Extensive menu, but they shine with the classics; the chicken parm is my favorite. Can’t sing this restaurant’s praises enough!

Food and service are always great. The meals, from chicken to pasta and the salads, are always very high quality. We have been going here since they opened over ten years ago and it is always consistently good. Chef Manny continues to do a fabulous job as well!

When family and friends from out of State come to visit, this is my go to restaurant outside the beltway. Access is easy, great venue at a historic site, wait staff and food is always the best. Ambience; well, you’re dining on many of Martha’s original recipes. Try the peanut soup, it’s delicious!
